Graduate Research Student, University of Oklahoma August 2008 - May 2011

Performed reservoir simulation to forecast production rate and ultimate recovery

Performed history matching using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) technique of data assimilation

Executed uncertainty analysis of oil production rate in water flooding scenarios

Carried out sensitivity analysis of reservoir model parameters such as mobility ratio, fault transmissibility and fault length on production rate

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Master’s thesis on “Bias Aware Data Assimilation”

Constructed multiple reservoir models to assess uncertainty in oil production rate

Carried out automatic history matching by sequentially assimilating production data and well bottom hole pressure

Developed an algorithm to estimate bias in the reservoir grid-block parameters such as permeability and porosity

Analyzed the effect of omitting model parameters on history matching

Senior year project on “Studies on Degradation of Particles when Transported in the Form of Slurry through Pipes”

Identified parameters affecting the degradation of slurry particles when transported through pipes

Analyzed the effect of pressure, velocity of transportation and density of particles on degradation of sand, granite, marble and slate particles

Studied the impact of compressive strength on particle size reduction during slurry transportation though pipes
